People around LaMelo Ball would like to see him end up with the New York Knicks, according to a new report.

With the date of the 2020 NBA draft still uncertain – despite it officially still scheduled for June 25 – people inside lottery prospect LaMelo Ball’s circle would love to see him selected by the New York Knicks, according to Ian Begley of SNY.

Ball’s father LaVar – who the sports world was introduced to in 2018 when his older son Lonzo Ball was drafted second overall by the Los Angeles Lakers – has already stated publicly that New York would be a great place for LaMelo to play.
